This Hilo native, born September 28, 1988, has an ethnic background almost as diverse as her music. Of Portuguese, Danish, Japanese and Hawaiian lineage, Brittni began her musical training at age four, studying classical piano under the Suzuki method. At age 11, her grandfather introduced her to the ukulele. Brittni immediately connected with this traditional Hawaiian string instrument that would become the heart of her music. She went on to embrace ki ho`alu (Hawaiian slack key guitar) and bass.
A multi-talented musician-composer-arranger, who is known for her instrumental dexterity and strength, Brittni has come into her own. Her repertoire encompasses many eras and a variety of genres and appeals to a wide range of audiences. From the classical period to the modern, from the Latin rhythms to the fiery csardas, the spin and style of her performance is uniquely Brittni Paiva! Brittni Paiva Web site |
